You need to look at the NCAA rules. I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about with Gillespie, but Bylaw 13.1.3.1.2 (Exception - Men's Basketball) states..."In men's basketball, an institution is permitted to make one telephone call per month to a prospective student-athlete (or the prospective student-athlete's relatives or legal guardians) on or after June 15 of the prospective student-athlete's sophomore year in high school through July 31 of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school. "
Since his VERBAL commit date was July 3 of his sophomore year there is nothing illegal about this. One contact in June, one in July with an offer, and the kid broadcasts a verbal. So quit whining about Billy D getting preferential treatment. Gillespie must have been working outside of the rule.
Now, back to my original question...any of you guys down in Orlando have any words on this kid (seen him play, etc)? At 6'3" he's got good size for a sophomore.
